Setup for Advanced JBoss EAP / WildFly Server Administration

Required Software

Operating System: Windows OS (Any modern version - Windows 10, 10, etc. - labs have not been tested on Windows 8 variants)

Computer requirements

  • Required: Intel-compatible processor (with reasonably recent hardware).
  • Memory: 8GB recommended (4GB minimum)
  • Disk Space: Free disk space for software installs (generally minimum 2GB)

Instructions

Install Java Development Kit – JDK 1.8 Update 241

  • Note that any relatively recent JDK1.8 version is fine.
  • From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html download the installer file for your OS:
    • Windows 64 bit: xxx-windows-x64.exe (Almost certainly this is the one you want. 32-bit Windows OS installs are now rare).
    • Windows 32 bit: xxx-windows-i586.exe
  • Run the installer and take all defaults.
  • Create or modify environment variables as appropriate for your OS. This will add an environment variable JAVA_HOME, and modify your path to include the jdk bin folder
    • JAVA_HOME:
      • Right click My Computer and choose Properties > click the Advanced tab > click the Environment Variables button
      • In the bottom half of the dialog, click New to add a new System variable
      • Variable name: JAVA_HOME (this is case-sensitive)
      • Variable value: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241 (or adjust to the actual path where you installed the JDK and your JDK version – please double-check this path – probably best to copy and paste it)
      • Click OK
    • Path:
      • Find this existing entry in the bottom half of the Environment Variables button, and click Edit
      • Click in the Variable value field and move your cursor all the way to the left (pressing Home on your keyboard should do this quickly for you)
      • Check whether the value below is already present, or add it at the beginning if necessary (make sure you get all of this, including the trailing semicolon, with no spaces):

        %JAVA_HOME%\bin;
    • Click OK repeatedly (likely in 3 different dialogs) until all the dialogs close.
  • Open a terminal prompt type the below, and press Enter

    javac -version

    You should get a message that tells you the version. If the command is not found, you did something wrong.
  • Close the terminal prompt. You’re done installing Java
